Ultra-Broadband Mode Converter Using Cascading Chirped Long-Period Fiber Grating

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2019
We propose and demonstrate an ultra-broadband mode converter based on a cascade chirped long-period fiber grating (CLPFG) written in a two-mode fiber.

Fibre Bragg grating fabrication in germanosilicate fibres with 244nm femtosecond laser light

, 2006
The ability to fabricate strong and extraordinarily stable Bragg gratings in any type of fibre using femtosecond laser light has attracted much interest in the recent past. The induced index change has been attributed to glass densification brought about

An SSI‐Informed Design for Tuned Mass Dampers With Small‐to‐Large Mass Ratios

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) are used to mitigate structural vibrations induced by seismic or wind excitation, by tuning the device to the system's dominant resonant frequencies. However, the TMD effectiveness can be undermined by soil‐structure interaction, which can lead to elongation of the vibration periods and to combined translational ...

Thin bonding wires temperature measurement using optical fiber sensors

, 2011
In this work we demonstrate the use of optical fiber sensors to measure temperature in thin metallic bonding wires. Temperature was measured in copper wires with diameter of 0.10, 0.28, 0.60 and 0.70 mm and for different values of the driven electrical ...

Fluorene‐based blue emitters: On the path to electrically pumped organic lasers

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Electrically pumped efficient operation remains unrealized, a major challenge in optoelectronics. Fluorene‐based blue‐emitting semiconductors are promising gain media, thanks to their structural tunability and favorable emission properties. This review summarizes recent advances, highlights their reliability and versatility in lasing, and outlines key ...

Optical vortex fiber laser based on modulation of transverse modes in two mode fiber

APL Photonics, 2019
Optical vortices, characterized by helical phase fronts, are usually generated outside the laser cavity using passive modulation methods. Here, we demonstrate an all-fiber laser to directly deliver mode-locked and continuous-wave vortex beams based on ...

Optical Gas Sensor Fabrication Based on Porphyrin-Anchored Electrostatic Self-Assembly onto Tapered Optical Fibers [PDF]

, 2012
Tapered optical fibers with nano-assembled coatings of thicknesses of order tens of nanometres were used for the detection of ammonia gas. The film coating was composed of alternate layers of tetrakis-(4-sulfophenyl) porphine (TSPP) and poly(allylamine ...
